Star Trek V: the Final Frontier by J M Dillard
Introducing a dramatic new chapter to American Indian literary history, this book brings to the public for the first time the complete writings of the first known American Indian literary writer, Jane Johnston Schoolcraft (her English name) or Bamewawagezhikaquay (her Ojibwe name), Woman of the Sound the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky (1800-1842). Beginning as early as 1815, Schoolcraft wrote poems and traditional stories while also translating songs and other Ojibwe texts into English. Her stories were published in adapted, unattributed versions by her husband, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, a founding figure in American anthropology and folklore, and they became a key source for Longfellow's sensationally popular The Song of Hiawatha. As this volume shows, what little has been known about Schoolcraft's writing and life only scratches the surface of her legacy. Most of the works have been edited from manuscripts and appear in print here for the first time. The Sound the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky presents a collection of all Schoolcraft's extant writings along with a cultural and biographical history. Robert Dale Parker's deeply researched account places her writings in relation to American Indian and American literary history and the history of anthropology, offering the story of Schoolcraft, her world, and her fascinating family as reinterpreted through her newly uncovered writing. This book makes available a startling new episode in the history of American culture and literature.In the wilds of central Florida, Dillard was pampered as a child. She fled Florida after leaving her mother's protective arms to live in places including Washington, D.C., Vermont, and? She now has a two-hundred-pound husband and two ninety-pound Labrador retrievers, all of which are well-trained but still think of themselves as lapdogs. She is the author of numerous Star Trek(TM) books, as well as the acclaimed Diaries of the Family Dracul trilogy and the historical fantasy The Burning Times as Jeanne Kalogridis (her evil alter-ego).
